Free Access to Xfinity WiFi Hotspots for All During Sochi Games

For the duration of the Sochi Olympic Games, through February 23, Comcast has opened up free access to tens of thousands of Xfinity WiFi hotspots that can be found nationwide in public locations like shopping districts and parks, on train platforms and in small businesses.

Usually only available to Xfinity Internet customers or for two-hour trial windows, Xfinity WiFi hotspots will be open to all in celebration of the games so you can stream all of the Olympic action live from smartphones, tablets or laptops at www.NBCOlympics.com or through the NBC Sports Live Extra app. A new online channel called the Gold Zone will also live stream the most compelling Olympic events as they take place.

To access Xfinity WiFi, look for the “xfinitywifi” SSID on a wireless device and follow the prompts to begin a WiFi session. Non-customers will be directed to a “non-customer” page and can then select to get access to the complimentary session.

For a WiFi hotspot map, visit www.xfinity.com/wifi or download the Xfinity WiFi app to find the nearest hotspot.

For a full schedule of Olympic events, and an up to the minute medal count, anyone can check out Xfinity’s guide for all things Olympics at www.xfinity.com/nbcolympics. The site includes enhanced TV listings showing Olympic content available across TV, On Demand and online and allows customers to remote tune their TVs to live or On Demand Olympics programming or to set DVR recordings.
